REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 28, 1980.
REPORT NO. : P-80-80
SUBJECT: Municipal Housing Numbering
r � .
BACKGROUND:
On March 20, 1980 staff received the attached request from
the Regional Works Department in respect of house numbering in the
hamlet of Orono. It is.our staff opinion that the adoption of a -
system of municipal house numbering has obvious merits within built-
tip or urbanized areas. A cursory review of numbering systems within
other municipalities indicates that municipal numbering of rural areas
is often impractical and unwarranted. However, if a system is adopted
for' use within the Town's built-up areas, it should be based upon the
assumption that at some time in the future numbering may be necessary
in rural areas, as such, any system adopted should be flexible enough
to accommodate numbering of rural areas as well.
Our preliminary review indicates that very little change would
be required to existing numbers unless a Town wide system is adopted.
Even then, only those buildings located on arterial, concession, or line
roads would be affected. In the presently undeveloped or un-numbered
areas, numbering should be based upon a Town-wide grid, for those roads
f
�.r

noted above and upon the standard practice of consecutive numbering
for internal roads; for example, buildings on Regional Road 17 in Orono
should be numbered as if tine numbering commenced on Regional Road 17 at
Highway 401 in Newcastle Village. This would avoid duplicate numbering
for the same road and would allow the flexibility of changing to a Town
wide system at some time in the future. Gast-west roads, such as Highway
2 or Taunton Road, should respect established numbering in Oshawa and
continue that pattern across the Town. This would mean that buildings
on Highway 2 in Bowmanville and Newcastle Village would be re-numbered;
but this would eliminate any confusion over duplicate numbering on what
is known as Icing Street in both areas.
When considering municipal numbering for houses in Orono, the
Committee should be aware of the Town-wide implications and make a basic
decision about the assumptions used; such as , establishing a system which
ignores the rest of the Town, and may, require changing later, or establishing
a system which recognizes tile. rest of the Town and permits flexibility in
future numbering. We would, therefore, suggest that the attached guidelines
for municipal numbering be adopted and that consideration be given to im-
plementing the necessary changes for areas which do not presently conform
to the guidelines and which may be considered of critical importance such
as arterial roads and main concession or line roads. No attempt should be
made at this time to assign numbers to rural areas.
Implementation of the attached guidelines proceed as follows:
(i) Draftsman plots the basic grid along affected roads ; build-
ing locations are then matched with the grid to obtain the
appropriate number. Updating will occur as new buildings
are constructed.
(ii) For each street, a staff member will have to search the assess-
ment rolls to compile a list of owners and tenants. The new
municipal number wa1.1 then be matched to the list.
(iii) `'individual letters of notification will then be sent to each
OVInQAr .^ '/or tenant..
Way

(iv) Once a complete list is compiled, copies should be
sent to the following agencies:
- Assessment Office
r ,
Bell Telephone, Community Telephone
- Consumers Gas
- Post Office
-- Newcastle Building Department
- Newcastle Clerk`s Department
- Newcastle Public Utilities
- Newcastle Treasury Department
-- Newcastle Works Department
Newcastle Fire Department
- Durham Regional Police
Durham Regional Works Department
(It must be appreciated that this is a time consuming .job,
requiring a substantial amount of paperwork, postage and typing time.
It is conceivable that this could be a full time job for a summer student.)
(v) The responsibility for providing, and displaying house
numbers shall rest with the individual property owner
once notified. At the time of issuance of building per-
mits for new buildings, the appropriate municipal number
shall be assigned by the building department in accordance
with the maps maintained by the Planning Department.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the Planning and Development Committee recommend to
Council. the .following:
1. That Report P-80-80 be received; and that
2. That the attached guidelines for municipal numbering
be adopted; and that
3. Staff be authorized to initiate the assignment of
m"nlol,pal numbers to buildings in Orono as workload permits ;
and tj)at:
s� <s
— [{ —
4. The Town Manager or Clerk be requested to designate
an appropriate person to provide clerical assistance
to planning staff in implementing the municipal num-
bering for Orono; and that
5. The assignment of municipal numbers to all other areas
which do not presently conform to the adopted guidelines
or are not presently numbered be deferred for consideration
in the 1981 budget.

ATTACUMENT .l
1. On Arterial Roads and concession or line roads a basic numbering
grid shall be established. For north-south roads the base point
should be the waterfront. For east-west roads, the numbering
established at a base point in Oshawa should be continued.
2. On internals streets in residential. or commercial areas, buildings
are numbered consecutively.
3. On internal streets in industrial areas a number shall be assigned
to every five metres of frontage in anticipation of changing develop-
ment patterns .
4. Even numbering is placed on the north and west sides generally.
Odd and even numbering is not transposed along the length of a
street or crescent regardless of change in direction: Numbering
should match on the two sides of a street and, therefore, some
numbers may be deleted on the inside of curved streets to accom-
plish this.
5. All streets are numbered from their south or east entrance. Existing
and lower numbers are allowed for where proposed streets are antici-
pated.
6. Short cul-de-sacs are numbered clock-wise from the entrance using
even numbers. Cul-de-sacs which are considered long are numbered
as in (4) and (5) above with the change from odd to even numbers
occurring as close as possible to the limit of the turning circle.
7. At least one number is left for each intersection road allowance.
8. A house centrally located on a lot to which two numbers have been
assigned, is given the higher number.

Subject: Municipal Addresses -
Hamlet of Orono.
Date: March 27, 1980.
With reference to your letter to Mr. G.B. Harness, Maintenance
Engineer, Region of Durham, dated March 26, 1980, this is to
advise you that while street naming is included in the terms
of reference of the Public Works Committee, this Department
has never been involved in the house-numbering aspect of
municipal addresses.
I believe that, in past years, the Building Department has had
Jurisdiction over house-numbering, and perhaps they could assist
in the matter under discussion.
Insofar as the Hamlet of Orono is concerned, I have reviewed
the present street name inventory and find that, with only one
or two exceptions, most road allowances are already identified.
I have a map in my office which may be of further assistance
to you. If, after referring to same, you feel it is necessary
to bring the matter before the Public Works Committee, I will
be pleased to submit a report.

Commissioner of Works Dear Sir:
lase quote our ref: This is to ask that the Town of Newcastle consider
GEN-METR-1-1 assigning municipal addresses to dwellings and buildings
in the Village of Orono.
The Region will be installing water meters in all
buildings which are supplied with municipal water and
which do not have water meters in 1980. The municipal addresses
will assist the Region in keeping records of the water meter
installations.
We thank you for your anticipated co-operation in this matter.
Yours truly,
